I know this from personal experiences.

Seed for Though:
We become whole, healed, by making the invisible visible and bringing the darkness to light. From the time we were children, we have been conditioned to put forth our best foot and face forward. We have been shamed when our behavior was less than perfect or we seemed greedy, arrogant, or otherwise naughty. Everything "not good" got shoved into the cellar of the personal unconscious. Jung called it the shadow. It is the alter ego that plays Hyde to our Jekyll. Hedge all you want, but it's in there, stuffed with everything that you deny, hate and disavow. The shadow is your evil twin.
